"While waiting for the new Raasay whisky, they have crafted a single malt, aptly called Raasay While We Wait (and you'll see that the wait will be worth it!), that demonstrates their whisky making skills and offers a tantalizing taste of what’s to come from the Isle of Raasay Distillery.

​

This limited edition whisky combines two expressions from one distillery – one peated, one unpeated – finished in French oak Tuscan red wine casks. The result: a single malt whisky of uncommon provenance."
